A GHOST SHIP.
A SALVAGE CREW.
UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS.

Claire Kovalik is days away from being unemployed—made obsolete—when her beacon repair crew picks up a strange distress signal. With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate.

What they find at the other end of the signal is a shock: the Aurora, a famous luxury space-liner that vanished on its maiden tour of the solar system more than twenty years ago. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. But a quick trip through the Aurora reveals something isn’t right.

Whispers in the dark. Flickers of movement. Words scrawled in blood. Claire must fight to hold onto her sanity and find out what really happened on the Aurora, before she and her crew meet the same ghastly fate.

Industry Reviews

This story slides and slithers from creepy and atmospheric to skin-crawling, edge-of-your-seat terror.
T. Kingfisher, author of The Hollow Places

At the intersection of science fiction and horror, Dead Silence is the ultimate haunted house story.
Alma Katsu, author of The Deep and The Hunger

"Dead Silence gives you the suffocating claustrophobia of 2001: A Space Odyssey mixed with the horrors of Alien. I couldn't stop reading."
Mur Lafferty, Hugo Award-Winning author of Six Wakes

Creepy and satisfying; I'll be checking under my bed tonight.
Sarah Pinsker, author of the Nebula Award winning A Song For A New Day

The richly realized world that S.A. Barnes creates draws us in, and the relatable characters charm us. The dread mounts to a powerful conclusion.
David Wellington, author of The Last Astronaut

Stomach-turning, sinister space horror perfect for fans of Alien and Event Horizon.
Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author
